Czech side Mlada Boleslav host Hungary’s Paksi FC in the UEFA Conference League Playoff first leg on Thursday. The first match of the two-legged tie looks likely to be a battle between two sides accustomed to scoring and conceding goals. Will the visiting Atomcsapat land the result they need or can the home team Bolka earn a lead? Let’s see what our prediction makes of this match!
Mlada Boleslav started their Conference League qualifying journey in the second round, beating TransINVEST 3-0 on aggregate (2-0 at home, 1-0 away). They then drew 1-1 at home with Hapoel Beer-Sheva in the Third Qualifying Round before earning a 4-2 win in the second leg.
Recent games involving Mlada Boleslav have not been short on goals. Their last three games included a 4-0 win against SK Dynamo, a 4-2 win over Hapoel Beer-Sheva, and a 3-2 defeat to Sigma at the weekend.
Facing them is Paksi FC, another team that is not shot-shy by any means. All bar one of their last 16 games have seen two goals scored, and four of the last five have seen both teams find the net. They started in the Europa League First Qualifying Round, losing 4-0 at home to Corvinul Hunedoara before winning 2-0 in the second leg to go out 4-2 on aggregate.
However, a 5-0 aggregate win over AEK Larnaca in the Conference League's Second Qualifying Round was followed by a 5-2 victory over Mornar in the Third Qualifying Round. They warmed up for this game with a 2-1 win over Nyiregyhaza Spartacus at the weekend.
